I will fear no color, face yellow and purple and orange and turquoise and checks and stripes with a smile, or grimace, but I will sew them together.

Example: Some made with 2-1/2" squares (6" finished), some made with 3-1/2" squared (9" finished), and some with 4-1/2" squares (12" finished) Then set them with solid, embroidered, or applique blocks (also mixed sizes to fill in) and you would have a Sampler type. I think this would be a neat way to use up some UFBs or create a "theme" quilt (butterflies, turtles, christmas, fall leaves, whatever strikes) |

Oh OH Oh I thought about it - I can work on the 3 1/2" 9Patch collection *I already have started* :)
If I really wanted to cheat - I could have kept the above sentence a secret and just posted a picture every day of a *new* 9patch from the collection - but I'm honest. Thanks for starting the NPP. |
Hmmm , I think I could handle this as well... not a must complete if something comes up a day or two! yes I will try this too. :)

Sounds like fun, i am in, watch out scrap bin here i come!

See what you started Swan Song! Way to boost our morale and save our pennies!
Scrap piles all over will be reduced....gifts and decor will be made without spending a lot of money......charities will receive a little extra! This might just be an Economy Recovery Plan! |
